Amazon.co.uk Review

Coming-of-age themes are an obvious choice for movie-makers but All Over Me is far from being run of the mill. It follows the friendship and codependence of two 15-year-old New York girls, one (Claude) gradually coming to terms with the fact that she's gay, the other (Ellen), getting sucked into a world of boys, violence and drugs. It brilliantly and sympathetically realised by film-maker sisters Alex and Sylvia Sichel, with superb performances by the two leads, Alison Folland and Tara Subkoff.

When the violent, homophobic murder of the girls' new-found friend, Jesse (Wilson Cruz) threatens to rip them apart, Ellen embarks on a trail of self-destruction while Claude finally seems able to come to terms with her own destiny, ultimately getting together with the pretty, magenta-haired punk musician, Lucy (a superbly empathetic performance from Leisha Hailey). It's a film that's saved from introspective self-indulgence by the brutal interruption of the outside world, and it's not just a thought-provoking hour-and-a-half, it's a compelling narrative experience. The only weakness is the two-dimensional characterization of Ellen's psychotic boyfriend, well enough played by Cole Hauser, but intrinsically limited in scope. Ann Dowd is superb as Claude's man-chasing mother and the film is topped off by a funky soundtrack.

On the DVD: All over Me doesn't just offer the "usual theatrical trailer" for the film in question but instead offers trailers for two related films, Better than Chocolate and Trick, both of which deal truthfully with gay issues offering a light and often humorous touch. However, that's it as far as additional goodies are concerned, which is a shame, but the vibrant soundtrack is presented in a great Dolby Digital sound. --Harriet Smith

5.0 out of 5 stars Top film, 14 Aug 2001
This review is from: All Over Me [VHS] [1997] (VHS Tape)
A deeply moving beautifully shot piece that hinges on the subtle yet deeply moving performances of the cast. Anyone with any hint of sensitivity in their body (whatever sexuality) cannot fail to be moved by this strangely touching and wonderful film. The use of music stands out as the most memorable part of the film which honestly left me dazed. (I liked it)

5.0 out of 5 stars It will stick with you forever, 1 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: All Over Me [VHS] [1997] (VHS Tape)
When I saw this movie it made me feel so much emotion after I'd watched it, it is so brilliant! For a low budget movie with hardly any real credit it really is amazing. It's touching, emotional, top acting and will be enjoyed by anyone. It's like a real journey through the teenagers live's and is like a documentary in the filming. The plot line is really really good too. I want to see it again as soon as possible!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully touching, 13 Jun 2002
I loved this film, it is definitely one of the best coming out films around. The character around which the story revolves is Claude, a teenager going through a very mixed up time. And it's not surprising,when she's hung up on her best friend, a sometime druggie with a violent homophobic boyfriend. Although this sounds like a depressing idea for a film, it is handled with compassion, and the result is incredibly moving film with issues that many people can relate to. A must for any teenager with confused ideas of sexuality, as well as anyone who's had a hard time coming to terms with who they are.
